Abstract :
BACKGROUND: Thrombocytopenia is defined as <150000/µ1 platelet count. This is due to decreased production, increased destruction (immunogenic and non–immunogenic), increased sequestration in spleen. Of these infections being · the commonest cause of thrombocytopenia. At times the fever course is prolonged and fever with 1hrombocytopenia narrows the differential diagnosis of the clinical entity. Septicemia : Infections like malaria, dengue, leptospirosis, typhoid, HIV and military TB are some of the common causes of fever with thrombocytopenia. Therefore a well organized systemic approach that is carried out with an awareness of causes of fever with thrombocytopenia can shorten the duration of investigations and ing out diagnosis. Hence, a need for study to know the causes and complications of fever with thrombocytopenia AIMS &OBJECTIVES: 1 .To evaluate clinical profile of fever with thrombocytopenia. 2. To assess the clinical complications associated with fever and thrombocytopenia. STUDY DESIGN: Cross sectional observational study. MEHTOD OF STUDY: The present study was undertaken between the years 2013–2015 at CAIMS (Chalmeda Anandarao Institute of Medical Sciences Karimnagar). We prospectively collected a series of 100 patients with feile thrombocytopenia RESULTS: Clinical manifestation of thrombocytopenia was present only in18cases and in 88 cases it was not present. Out of 18 cases which had thrombocytopenic manifestations petichae/ purpura was present in 12 cases accounting for 67% and spontaneous bleeding in 6 cases accounting for 33%. In general,88 cases had good recovery and 12 cases had mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Fever with thrombocytopenia consists of occult presentations of common diseases rather than rare disease.
